I hope so, because I'm really feeling that way lately. Been out of work for some time and with all the other poo poo that's going on in life, I don't want to go back to the service industry, I don't like that I've fallen into 'security guard' positions. I want to do something creative, to use the skills I've developed to do something I enjoy, but nobody wants to pay for that. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel worthless, chewed up and spat out. Even for menial soul-destroying jobs I've applied to dozens in the past month, paid to get new certifications, refined my resume and reached out to everyone I know... I've secured one interview, tomorrow morning over Zoom, for a concierge position in some highfalutin bougie condominium. It might pay the bills, but I have a feeling it's going to be as soul-destroying as anything else. I don't want to work, I missed the boat on enjoyable creative work and now I'm gonna spend the back half of my life as a total loser.

Don't attach your self-worth to your job, as much as capitalism wants you to. There's no such thing as genuinely fulfilling jobs anymore, unless you have brain problems. Capitalism alienates everyone from the product of their labor (and others, and themselves).

My dad was a very ambitious and hard working person who eventually got his dream job, which was one of those archetypical dream jobs you hear a ton of people list as their dream job, and he still started feeling a bit down on Sunday afternoons or the last day of vacations. Having to go to some place and do some poo poo so you don't end up starving in a gutter just kind of sucks as a concept.

I really like my job. I work as a quality developer for a medical company that designs medical equipment (I started as a Coordinator). I have also worked in conjunction with other major companies to help develop the most efficient Covid-19 testing kit when I was first in the field. I remember being super green and wanting to learn as much as I can before I settled and felt a lot of the time that I was an imposter. But when something happens it always felt good that myself and my team that I work with all banded together and helped solve major issues.

On the one hand, I am mobile a lot and I do perform audits and investigations to find out the 5 whys when an issue is happening. I have developed and implemented a lot of things in my company that not only solved an issue but made things way more efficient. All the way to legal work instruction documentation and SOPs being ISO 9001 standards.

Only problem is all of this is 41k a loving year lmfao.

I know all the trees I help out in the park by name, both science name and the personal ones I assigned them that seemed right. It's not like they can file a complaint about it.

Smoke a weed, put on some tunes, help out trees and other plants. Generate too much veggies and give them away. It's dope.

Work whatever the gently caress to pay the rent.

I was a graphic design major for my undergrad (never worked in that field) and I know how to put pics into word, and how to take screenshots, all thanks to extreme bordedom and photoshop friday and a free copy of photoshop six I put on a thumb drive as a kid years ago (the last one you could do that with) and it’s been 80% of my career so far

I noticed that in a fillable pdf that had a calculate script, someone had typed a 7 instead of a five and then googled “is a calculate script the same as javascript” and took a screenshot and put it in an email and asked “hey is this script right this calculates a thing” and accidentally came across as competent and now I might buy a condo

Hustle bro culture rules because every time they mention a get rich quick scheme it boils down to “take advantage of a glorified slave”.

Like Andrew Tate telling people to sign their younger cousins up to run Uber shifts and then just gently caress them out of their pay. :lol:

90% of the hustle bro poo poo is “float off rich parents till they give you a big enough loan to not suck at some grift”.

If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!
We had a dog code a few days ago, just fully dead, and I started doing cpr, which basically never works, but it worked this time, and it was incredibly rewarding to spite death itself. So, find a job where you can do that.

People often mix up jobs with occupation. Work a job is something you do for money, to survive. It's selling your work to the highest bidder to afford the basic necessities. An occupation is what you like to do and would do if you had no pressure otherwise. Most people don't manage to find a job that's also their occupation.

So yes, work loving sucks and I realized what a scam it is when I was 15 or so and then spent years trying to convince myself it's actually cool, and good. Well it isn't, work sucks balls.

"Occupation" sounds like something you "occupy" yourself with while waiting for death
